There appeared a man by the name of John, with a message from God.

Two days later there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and Jesus' mother was present.

Now there were six stone water jars there, for the ceremonial purification practiced by the Jews, each large enough to hold twenty or thirty gallons.

After this Jesus went down to Capernaum with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.

Among the Pharisees there was a man named Nicodemus, a leader among the Jews.

After this Jesus went into the country of Judea with his disciples, and stayed there with them and baptized.

John too was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, for there was plenty of water there, and people came there and were baptized.

and Jacob's spring was there. So Jesus, tired with his journey, sat down just as he was by the spring. It was about noon.

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they asked him to stay with them, and he did stay there two days.

So he came back to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water into wine. There was at Capernaum one of the king's officials whose son was sick.

After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheepgate a pool called in Hebrew Bethzatha, which has five colonnades.

In these there used to lie a great number of people who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.

There was one man there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

Jesus saw him lying there, and finding that he had been in this condition for a long time, said to him, "Do you want to get well?"

But the man who had been cured did not know who it was, for as there was a crowd there, Jesus had left the place.

But Jesus went up on the hill, and sat down there with his disciples.

"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish, but what is that among so many people?"

Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." There was plenty of grass there, so the men threw themselves down, about five thousand of them.

Next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not embarked in it with his disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.

So when the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were any longer there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of him.

Yet there are some of you who will not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who would not believe, and who was going to betray him.

and there was a great deal of muttering about him among the crowds, some saying that he was a good man, and others that he was not, but was imposing on the people.

Whoever speaks simply for himself is looking for honor for himself, but whoever looks for honor for the person who has sent him shows his sincerity; there is no dishonesty about him.

I know that you are descended from Abraham, yet you want to kill me, because there is no room in your hearts for my teaching.

The devil is the father you are sprung from, and you want to carry out your father's wishes. He was a murderer from the first, and he has nothing to do with the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in his true character, for he is a liar and the father of them.

But I do not seek honor for myself; there is someone who seeks it for me, and is the judge of it.

Then some of the Pharisees said, "This man does not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a sinful man show such signs as this?" And there was a division of opinion among them.

The man answered, "There is something very strange about this! You do not know where he came from, and yet he has made me able to see!

He went across the Jordan again to the place where John used to baptize at first, and there he stayed.

The disciples said to him, "Master, the Jews have just been trying to stone you, and are you going back there again?"

He told them this, and then he added, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him."

"Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may learn to believe in me. But let us go to him."

In consequence of this, Jesus did not appear in public among the Jews any longer, but he left that neighborhood and went to the district near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples.

So they were looking for Jesus there, and asking one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Do you think he will not come to the festival at all?"

They gave a dinner for him there, and Martha waited on them, while Lazarus was at the table with him.

A great many of the Jews found out that he was there, and they came to Bethany not only to see Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the festival,

Father, honor your own name!" Then there came a voice from the sky, "I have honored it, and I will honor it again!"

There are many rooms in my Father's house; if there were not, I would have told you, for I am going away to make ready a place for you.

Now, Father, do such honor to me in your presence as I had done me there before the world existed.

I have made your self known to them and I will do so still, so that the love which you have had for me may be in their hearts, and I may be there also."

When Jesus had said this, he went out with his disciples to the other side of the Ravine of the Cedars where there was a garden, and he went into it with his disciples.

Judas who betrayed him also knew the place, for Jesus often met his disciples there.

So Judas got out the garrison and some attendants from the high priests and Pharisees, and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

It was the day of Preparation for the Passover, and it was about noon. And Pilate said to the Jews, "There is your king!"

There they crucified him, with two others, one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

So Jesus, seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, said to his mother, "There is your son!"

Then he said to his disciple, "There is your mother!" And from that time his disciple took her into his home.

A bowl of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge soaked in the wine on a pike and held it to his lips.

There was a garden at the place where Jesus had been crucified, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

So because it was the Jewish Preparation day, and the tomb was close by, they put Jesus there.

As she said this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was he.

There were many other signs that Jesus showed before his disciples which are not recorded in this book.

So Simon Peter got into the boat, and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three of them, and though there were so many, the net was not torn.

There are many other things that Jesus did, so many in fact that if they were all written out, I do not suppose that the world itself would hold the books that would have to be written.
